Philippines From The Past

Attitude

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in
the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. Well,"
she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she did and she had a
wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M," she said, "I
think I'll part my hair down the middle today?" So she did and she had
a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm
going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun,
fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YEA!" she exclaimed, "I
don't have to fix my hair today!"

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting
some kind of battle.

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......
Leave the rest to God

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

If you are a Christian, Live Carefully

Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a
church in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he had an
occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he
sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a
quarter too much change.

As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd better give
the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it." Then he thought, "Oh,
forget it, it's only a quarter.

Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets
too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from God
and keep quiet."

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed
the quarter to the driver and said, "Here, you gave me too much
change."

The driver, with a smile, replied, "Aren't you the new preacher in
town? I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to
worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much
change.. I'll see you at church on Sunday."

When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the
nearest light pole, held on, and said, "Oh God, I almost sold your Son
for a quarter."

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a
really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and
will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- You
carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself
"Christian."

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny .

If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; if you
do, you will have ministered to someone.

The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not
PROTECT you...

Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL...
